Sherwin Electrical Services - Portable Generator Use

The Use of Portable Generators During a Power Outage

Know the Proper Use of a Portable Generator

When a power outage occurs, the most common method of restoring power to essential home circuits is the portable generator; however, it can also be the most dangerous.

The safest method for portable generator use is the Mechanical Interlock for the electrical panel. This involves the installation of a device that prevents the main panel circuit breaker from being on while the generator is running and providing power to the home. Without this device, a back-feed from the generator can be dangerous to the occupant of the home as well as the utility lineman that is trying to restore your power. It is a fairly inexpensive method, but it does require proper equipment and usage. It also requires the safe storage of gasoline and a properly maintained generator. Sherwin Electrical Services can advise you on the proper installation method and usage of the generator to ensure safety for all those involved.
